For me was working as a hooker and her john the judge wanted her to pretend to be taking a nap and she was to wake up and struggle..but not too hard.. boy did she! He says "NO too hard!" And broke the judge's nose!
TOO funny!
I like that moment too.
Also when the cop is chasing her and she screams that he's a pervert and the other cop treats him like a loon.
It's a very broad moment but when the cattle are running through Brooklyn and she's chasing them, how can you not laugh.
The cows were what I remember the most after 30+ years. It just got more zany as it neared the end.

the dog chasing Barbra in the subway.
Barbra calling Estelle Parsons "a fat ass grizzly bear".
The crystal shop destroyed by Barbra's "knock on wood".
So many others!
For me the funniest part is the bull in the china shop! Loved Barbra in it.
Just read that Michael Sarrazin just passed away.....so sad...only 70!
The scenes with Estelle Parsons were really funny. I loved Barbra arguing with the various people at the beginning too, telling the store clerk he'd like the Froot Loops, I about wet myself.
The whole movie was funny, to me this and What's Up Doc are Barbra's best. I wish she had done more slapstick comedies she was great in them.
I always laugh out loud when the huge cow licks Barbra right in the face,
as she is driving the cow-bago through the city. LOL.

No one thought the scene where Bill McKinney re-created what was arguably his most memorable role as the rapist in 'Deliverance' was funny ? He steps out from the trailer dressed in the identical threads/hat, speaks with the same drawl (basically recreated his hillbilly rapist scene to the 'T') and shows her the cattle she'll have to drive. The cows were a hoot because I was fully expecting the live stock to be pigs. I knew there was no way they would have Barbra suffering the same indignity as Ned Beatty did at the hands of McKinney in 'Deliverance' (even if she had already turned a few 'tricks') but I really didn't know where they were going to go with this scene.
As was already pointed out, the subway scene was a nod to 'The French Connection'. Until the cattle/McKinney scene I wasn't looking for references to other famous movies, so now I'm wondering how many there were/what else I missed. Maybe the bull ride was a nod to 'Mongo' scenes in Blazing Saddles ?
I'd have to watch them both again, its been so long.
Everyone's nailed the best, but there are a few minor moments that make me laugh as well -
Barbra obsessively staring at the closet in the middle of the night and then getting startled out of her mind by Pete; her nervously running Pete out of the apartment before she gets business rolling; and of course the maid "it's the colored woman !" "I hope the cookies are a better quality than last time," etc etc...
The funniest part for me is when the dog was on top of the subway car.
